♥ Chef Ann Tips for Cauliflower

It is important to pick an unblemished head of cauliflower. Check for little dark spots. You want the entire head to be deep orange or golden in hue. Be sure that the head is firm; this will ensure freshness.

You can also use the white or green for this recipe. For a nice change of pace, this is a great substitute for mashed potatoes and the taste is actually pretty close. Your taste buds will deceive you with this recipe.

When choosing garlic bulbs; the firmer they are the better. This also ensures freshness. The garlic cloves should be tight and the papery skin intact. Also, for those serious garlic fans you can use a large bulb of garlic to get an extra bang in flavor.

If you have any stock/broth left over, you can use some of it in your mix. The other alternative, would be to simply refrigerate or place in the freezer for your next recipe.

Helpful information

White cauliflower is the most common color of this vegetable! Venture out and try some of the other colors, I do believe you will enjoy them. I have chosen “Cheddar Bouquet” or “orange” cauliflower for my recipe. This color trait contains about 25% more Vitamin C than the white does. The “cheddar” also contains a good amount of potassium. This wonderful vegetable is great to eat in its raw form as well as steamed or stir-fried. Which helps hold the nutrients needed from this vegetable?
